Summary - 81 DURRINGTON ROAD BOSCOMBE EAST BOURNEMOUTH BH7 6PZ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bed detached house with west-facing garden, garage, log cabin and no onward chain.
Five-bedroom detached 1930s home with original period features
Bright, spacious and arranged over two floors, this 1930s detached family home blends period character with a generous modern extension. The open-plan living area features a glass roof lantern and two sets of bi-folding doors that flow onto a west-facing landscaped garden — ideal for afternoon sun and informal entertaining. Original details such as stained glass, exposed brick and bay windows sit alongside practical upgrades including double glazing (post-2002) and mains gas central heating.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, a separate reception room, a family bathroom, a shower room and a downstairs WC. The plot is a strong asset: large paved driveway, carport, garage and a powered log cabin with water make this property versatile for home-working, hobbies or storage. The layout includes useful storage, loft access from bedroom five and a sheltered seating area by a feature pond.
Location is convenient for families and commuters: within easy reach of Royal Bournemouth Hospital, nearby schools (including outstanding-rated options), Pokesdown station and Southbourne beach. The property is offered chain-free and freehold, presenting a straightforward purchase for those seeking immediate occupation or refurbishment to personal taste.
Notable considerations: the EPC is rated D and council tax is in band F — prospective buyers should factor running costs into their budget. The house is an average overall size (approx. 1,539 sq ft) for a five-bedroom detached and, while well-maintained, the historic build may prompt cosmetic updating rather than full renovation. Viewing is recommended to appreciate internal proportions and garden configuration.
